Vege Garden Here I come

Three weeks and two days ago, (exactly one day before my back went ka-plooey) I planted some tomato, pepper, dill, cabbage and a few petunias in some starter cups. I use small plastic drinking cups, about the 2 oz size, that I poke holes in with a push pin. Then I place them in plastic shoe boxes in a window that has a southern exposure. I love seeing my plants growing and knowing that in another month or more I will be placing them into my garden. MMMM- I can't wait to begin reaping the benefit of home grown goodness.

  4. This year we will be planting: radishes, 3 types of lettuce, spinach, turnips, onions, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, green beans, watermelon, pumpkins, snap peas and dill. I'm sure I left something out but these are the basics that I plant each year.

  5. I cannot wait for a big juicy homegrown tomato - it just puts the stuff at the store to shame. It is a miracle to see these plants grow - take a pic of your garden when you get it in so we can see!

  8. Well, I was all ready to comment and then saw the questions and your answer about what you're planting! HOLY COW, that's lots of stuff! I'm impressed. I want to do this so badly. We have NO sun in our yard (and I have no green thumb), but I really want to do this one day. You're inspiring!

    I hope you're feeling OK, been thinking of you. Peace to you,
    Heather

  9. I wish you were here to teach me! Would you believe a country bumpkin like me has never had a garden?!

    How are you feeling? Better I hope.

  11. That is so fun. I'm hoping we have a garden this year. It's kind of scary when you haven't done it before. :)
    Here's to hoping for good greens this summer!
